Ismael Ontiveros

Ismael Ontiveros, Beloved Son, Father, Brother, and Friend.

Ismael (Izzy) Ontiveros, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, was a cherished son of Amelia and Jesus Pasillas, a beloved brother to Joel Ontiveros, Irene Pasillas, and Sonya Pasillas, and father to Destany and Talia Ontiveros. In addition, he was an admired uncle to his many nieces and nephews. His life, though seemingly short, overflowed with the richness of his character and the warmth of his spirit.

Ismael embodied loyalty, honesty, and an unwavering loving character. From his earliest days, he displayed a remarkable talent for baseball, enchanting all who witnessed his prowess on the field. Yet, beyond his athletic achievements as a child, Ismael's true passion lay in the art of music. With every chord and melody, he poured his heart out, sharing his innermost emotions with the world.

His smile and laughter were infectious, his humor a beacon of light in the lives of those around him. Ismael had a knack for the playful, a quality that endeared him to friends and family alike. Whether through a witty remark or a spontaneous clowning, he brought joy to all who crossed his path.
